Dear B-GREEKers,

As I have continued my journey through the first chapter of John I have
encounted one really puzzling pronoun.

John 1:27 (GNT) hO OPISW MOU ERXOMENOS , hOU OUK EIMI [EGW] ACIOS hINA
LUSW AUTOU TON hIMANTA TOU hUPODHMATOS

Now... I really have no clue how does this relative pronoun hOU function in
this verse. Where does it refer to? hO ERXOMENOS? What does it mean then?
